This article introduces the software for online ontological representation of knowledge, named SIMAS -Framework System for Significant Learning. SIMAS is a high-functionality tool for representing knowledge through the analysis of concepts and their relationships; and is capable of integrating both quantitative and qualitative information. The system is developed based on Open Source like MySQL, Apache and PHP technology for the application and data layers. The interface, and the esthetic presentation created in HTML 5, CSS 3 and JavaScript, allows for an easy, enjoyable and interactive experience. The graphical programming is tailored to the needs and ages of the users. This tool permits the use of online digital contents, organizing these based on ontological structures; and also supports collaborative projects. The SIMAS software is addressed to teachers and students of different knowledge domains, learning levels, and ages, as main users. The goal is to support knowledge representation practices that result in hypermedia products as that can be shared with other people, while supporting the derived learning practices.
